Artist Stacy Bogan will be teaching dads and their kids how to create a painting that’s “perfect for the man cave.”

The “Father’s Day Paint and Party” offers a step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate a painting based off a Hubble Telescope photograph of a galaxy.

With its yolky center and misty-white arms, the galaxy in Bogan’s planned model painting could inspire anything from realist re-creations to more impressionist works that could resemble an egg on a frying pan.

“We have a target in mind, but anyone can add their own creativity,” Bogan said.

By the end of the hour-and-a-half session, Bogan hopes participants will come away with a deeper understanding of the texture and intensity of paint. Sure, she’ll be covering the basics with step-by-step instructions, but she encourages budding artists to add their own flavor to their work.

“I love way people modify the painting we’re being inspired by and how they add their own creative twists,” she said. “We’re not making Xerox copies.”
